~*Chapter Eight: The End?*~

----------------------------------------------------

"Kunzite!" Venus yelled. "Please don't tell me... You can't be on their side... What

about us?"

Kunzite laughed. "I would never date someone from the opposing side!"

"Kunzite..." Venus sighed.

"Jedite!" Mars commanded. "Stop this!"

"Our loyalty lays with Queen Beryl..." Jedite replied as he pushed his hand foreward
and released fire energy at Mars. Mars was sent back screaming.

"I can't believe you guys!" Jupiter yelled. "How could could you turn your back on us
like that?!"

Mercury touched her earring and a mini-computer appeared. She studied things while the
others tried to reason. "I've got it!" Mercury yelled as she touched her earrings once
more to make the computer go away. "They've been brainwashed."

"Girls," Uranus began. "I'm sorry about this... There's no choice!" Haruka paused to
dodge an attack from Zoicite. "If we don't take action, we're going to get hurt!"

Venus allowed one tear to fall from her eyes before raising her arm in the air.
"Crescent..."

Kunzite smacked her in the arm. "No tricks!"

Minako screamed as she tried to think, "Venus Love-me Chain!" The chain hit Kunzite
directly in the face. "Kunzite, I'm... so... sorry..."

Meanwhile, Mars and Mercury were trying to dodge the attacks of Jedite and Zoicite.

"Fire Soul!" Mars screamed as fire came from her fingertips. It hit Jedite directly.

"Deep Submerge!" Neptune yelled as a huge tidal wave burried Jedite and Zoicite.

"Sparkling Wide Pressure!" Jupiter yelled as she ran from Nephrite. "This is NOT my
idea of the perfect date!"

"Everyone, we have more trouble!" Uranus yelled pointing at the palace.

"The Earth's army of Youma monsters are trying to get in!" Mars yelled.

"Michiru and I will handle it." Uranus commanded. "You girls stay here and keep the
generals back." Uranus and Neptune both ran towards the castle to defend the Serena
and her mother.

---------------------------------------------

Back at the palace, they were also having problems with the Youma army.

"Endymion!" Serena yelled as she gave a monster a kick. "I hope this ends soon!"

"Me too, Serena." Endymion agreed as he pulled out his sword. "Me too."

"World Shaking!" A huge blast of energy came and a dozen or so monsters had vanished.

"Haruka! Michiru!" Serena called. "Thank you for coming to our rescue!"

"No problem, my princess." Uranus replied.

"We're just here to help." Neptune smiled.

"Moon Beam Magic!" Serena yelled as light flowed from the crescent symbol on her
forehead. A few more dozen monsters were left.

Endymion just kept slicing monsters. "I don't know if we're making progess, but I hope
we're almost done!"

"Deep Submerge!" Neptune yelled. "I think those are all the monsters out here!"

------------------------------------------

The group of four ran outside to find something horrible waiting for them. The four
inner soldiers were lying on the ground, lifeless.

"NOOO!" Serena yelled. "MINAKO! MAKOTO! AMI! REI!" She ran into Endymion's arms and
wept loudly.

----------------------------

Neptune and Uranus couldn't shed any tears... not with the princess nearby. The two
ran to the other side of the palace to kill more monsters... That's when Neptune shed a
few tears... "Haruka, they're really gone..."

Uranus gave her partner a hug, "Don't worry. We'll win this."

"How can you be so sure?"

"To tell you the truth, I'm not as sure as I sound."

-----------------------

"Queen Serenity!" Luna yelled tugging on the bed sheets. Queen Serenity was taking a
short nap, at the worst possible time.

"The Earth has sent an army to your palace! We need your assistance!" Artemis yelled.

The queen sat up in her bed, "Luna! Artemis! What's the problem?"

Luna stuck her paw out as if to point to the window, "Look outside."

The queen got up and started towards the window, "Oh my god! The girls... they're..."

"I know..." Artemis finished holding back the tears. "They're dead..."

The queen began to wipe away a few tears of her own before starting the long journey
down the stairs, "I can't believe what's happening! Is Serena okay?"

Luna nodded, "For now. Endymion is with her."

"I hope she's all right." The queen replied as she began to run. "I have to save
everyone!"

------------------------------------

Endymion pulled out his sword and pointed at Beryl who had recently reappeared. "What
do you want?"

"My Prince, why are you being so harsh?" Beryl laughed. "I thought you'd enjoy this..."

"I'm not a demon like you! What do you want? What is it that you wish to achieve from
all this? Is it worth killing those who are innocent?!" Endymion responded angerly.

"What I want," Beryl paused. "Is for you to join. Let's rule the future together."

"I would never ever join someone like you!" Endymion replied.

"I bet it's that princess's fault." Beryl responded glaring at Serena who was hiding
behind Endymion's back. "If it wasn't for her, maybe you and I..." She shook her head.
"I will kill you both!" She threw her hands forward unleashing a blast... It hit
Endymion directly.

"Serena..." Endymion cried as he fell to the ground.

"ENDYMION!" Serena yelled, her tears overflowing. "We can't... let it end... like
this..."

Beryl laughed. "Since you seem to be in more pain without him, I shall spare you.
Serenity, you don't belong with him."

"You have no heart!" Serena screamed. "You don't know the pain..."

"I don't really care." Beryl laughed... She waved her fingers, and she was gone.

Serena continued to cry, "She's right... I feel more pain when I'm without you!
Endymion, please wait for me." She gave him a quick kiss on the lips as she took his
sword from his lifeless hands. The tears continued to flow... She began to sing, "More
and more, I love you... Tuxedo Mirage, ooh..." She turned the sword to herself and hit
the ground next to him.

~*The End?*~

--------------------------------------------------------------

A/N: I know, it's a pretty tragic ending... Anyway, the story isn't really over. Now
you can go watch those classic Sailormoon episodes where everyone is reborn as
'Usagi-tachi' or 'Serena and the others' depending on what language it's in and use
that as the rest of the story.

OR

You can continue on the epilogue and read MY version of how Queen Serenity sends
everyone to the future and read the sequel! ^_^ The name of the sequel is Sailor
Serena, the New Life... More info on the sequel is in the epilouge!
